Afternoon Session.

The first speaker in the afternoon
session was c. w. Wolcott of Mass, who
spoke on "Swine, in connection with
Dairying." He was satisfied that the
weakest spot in New England dairying
is the lack of manure that in fact ma
nure is the thing needful for the sue
cessful prosecution of the business.
The dairyman's desideratum is large
crops of field and fodder corn, grass
and hay. Swine fed in connection
with the dairy will furnish more and
richer manure and at less expense than
any other animal, and will pay as large
a percentage on capital invested as any
other. The quality of manure made
from skinned milk is estimated to be

relatives and intimate friends of the family.
Mr.. Beecher passed away gradually and
almost imperceptibly, drawing his last breath
without apparent suffering or return to con-
sciousness. No Grape was hung on the door,
Mr.. Beecher having always objected to its
nae and the gloom associated with it. In
stead. magnificent wreath of flowers hung
from the side of the doorway, composed of
white and red roses and lilies OF the valley,
tied up with white satin.
At 10 80 it was given out that the funeral
would take place in Greenwood on Thursday

brsyely from the first, and who has watched
so constantly at the bedside of her dying
husband, was utterly broken down.

The Opinion of the Leading Mug
wump Editor of the Country.
There was little group of 'mere
people" in one of the loges of the Hen
nepin Avenue theater last evening
which attracted some attention. Hon.
E. B. Haskell, editor of the Boston
Herald, was the central figure. At his
right theft owing sidewhiskers of Elder
A. j. Blethen loomed up, while
behind him was the proud
military figure of his talented
son, MAJ. William Edwin Haskell. MY
father does not care to be interviewed
concerning the Tribune" said Maj.
Haskell rather Stifly, when a GLOBE re-
porter pOked his head between the cur
tains. Haskell pere looked up inquir-
ingly at this, and when told that his
opinion on the political outlook was all
that was desired, responded cOur-
teOuSly:
think that Cleveland is going to retain his
mugwump strength. In fact, he stands bet
ter with large element of the Republicans
than he does with his own party, but he will
receive the nomination of the Democrats
without opposition. They can hardly do
anything else but nominate him. / think he
has created a very favorable impression on
his tour. Most presidents have made trips
about the country and, if they hap
Pened TO be level-headed, sensible men,
have won popular favor and Mr.. Cleveland
is level-headed, sensible man. Mrs. Cleve-
land. too has gained him many friends. !
think Blaine would like the Republican
nomination, provided he makes up his mind
he can be elected. | don't think Sherman is
going TO develop much strength, and Allison
is likely TO get the nomination i'll the event
Blaine does not. seek II. If Cleveland and
Blaine are again pitted against each other l
think Cleveland is sure 10 be elected, even
more easily than before
